* PupControl, a full-featured control panel specifically designed for Puppy-based derivatives like Lighthouse.

* SFS copy2ram at first or any boot, with a brief prompt for full selection and configuration early in the boot process, prior to mounting the layered file system.

* If sufficient free RAM is detected, all core files and SFS add-ons can be copied to RAM. This means the Mariner ISO is now a true LiveCD with the add-ons Xfce, Mariner & LibreOffice SFS running in RAM at first boot.

* If any .sfs add-ons are found, before they are loaded, a brief prompt is offered to select and configure them. The SFS configuration allows you to choose which add-ons you'd like to use this session, and whether or not to copy them to RAM. Skip the prompt and use all SFS selected in prior configuration / BootManager / pre-selections from LiveCD.

* Available free RAM is recalculated after each copy2ram. If RAM is low, only SFS files that will safely fit in RAM will be copied and the rest will mount in place. This way all selected add-ons will be loaded, making maximum use of available RAM.

If boot and command line fonts are very small, add video=800x600 to the kernel line in your menu.lst. Sample menu.lst entry

If LHP boots to a blank screen when booting from a GRUB bootloader, please add xforcevesa nomodeset to the kernel line in your menu.lst.
(Booting from the CD does this by default, and using grubconfig in LHP to install GRUB also does.)

Thanks,
Jim
EDIT: Problem was the download which I suspected considering the difference sizes between our files. Mariner download was also bad. I/m posting from LHP now and it looks good so far including KDE4.
Thanks,
Jim

There is a lot to try out but it's looking good so far,amazing in fact

Edit:

I installed lhp 502 to a pc with an nvidia graphics card and installed
the devx,kernel source sfs, and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.29.run driver.
I had to go into the sbin directory and rename depmod to depmodold and
depmod-FULL to depmod before exiting to the prompt and running the
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.29.run driver.
I had problems getting the correct resolution but I messed around
until I got it
6840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1367.876 FPS
7194 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1438.715 FPS
7238 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1447.441 FPS
10134 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2026.748 FPS
10622 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2124.340 FPS

Hi Jim,
Yes, you're right, try it now. 9.7.2 still works in LHP 5.00 G. 9.8.2 for 5.02 should d/l OK now, though I had to install twice before it worked; I will do some more testing tomorrow to see if the free space check needs to be adjusted up. There's a new e-Sword feature now to d/l and track add-ons within e-Sword, but I haven't been able to get it working in Wine.
Thanks,
